focus on school and get completely obsessed with work. I study at least six hours a day. also, don't be afraid to speak up. for me, I believe that it is far more important to be the bitchiest person in order to be on top than to be a congenial person just to get on everyones' good side and amount to absolutely nothing.

Oh, dont we all? Someone said to be successful you need friends;to be very successful, you need enemies. I'll remember you in my prayers. Good luck

there's a lot of luck involved and a major in Business Management is good, but you won't be rich.

motivation. never run out of things to strive for. have a thick skin. smile. speak up... and know when to shut your mouth.

HI,I am a student too and I am sure that to be a successful in your future career it's enough to smile,talk polite and inteligent.........and most important to LISTEN what the others says.........I'm preparing to be a teacher and I wish you luck

A successful person knows what they are aimed for....their dreams...or more specifically their goals.....And with the right attitude and thinking....turning all the obstacles as oppurtunity.Even if they fall once, they just take it as practise shot.....It doesn't matter what people recommend to you.....the choice is yours......." Life is like cycling, once you stop, you failed " Wish you good luck in whatever you do....Cheers

West LA and Beverly Hills are a lot of old money. Best to make your mark and succeed in a smaller area with a low cost of living and a great economy. Somewhere where pay is high and the cost of living is low. Then work your way up the corporate ladder and invest. People love making fun of places like Arkansas. However once I got my MBA, I moved to NW Arkansas. Where the unemployment rate is around 2%, the cost of living is low and actually the Median income in this area is higher than NY city. Think about it. In Southern California, you can spend 600 grand on a small house and live next door to a crack house, the economy sucks, the cost of living is too high, and the median income is below national average. In NW Arkansas, I paid 500 grand for a 4500 sw ft 5 bedroom house with a pool. This house in LA would most likely be 6 million. Plus because the pay is so high here and cost of living so low, that leaves me a lot more money to invest. The idea is to be able to do and live anywhere I want during retirement Southern California is just not a good place to become successful. Its a good place to live once you have become rich and can then afford it. My advice, pull out some financial magazine like Money or Fortune and look at their best places to live lists. The areas you want to look at are the ones with future job growth and cost of living. That is where you want to live to succeed.

I think to be successful, you should change your definition of success.
